Barloworld's new reception centre at Staffordshire

Barloworld Handling has opened its new National Used Equipment Reception Centre in Tamworth, Staffordshire.

The 62,000 sq ft (5,759 sqm) premises will be a central 'hub' for all equipment finishing long-term rental contracts. Used equipment will be stored at the centre before being assessed for redistribution for re-sale, hire, or disposal.

Mark Ward, UK commercial asset manager for Barloworld, says the investment in the centre will further improve the company's logistics efficiency and truck movements. "This will mean we will be more responsive to customer needs."
